Importing PowerPoints into Storyline 360 Font Size Issues

Hi Ari.  We're doing much the same process at the moment so I hope I can help.

The story size appears to determine the font size, ie it is scaled to suit your dimensions.  We worked out the font size we wanted in our story and then saw what we were getting when importing from PowerPoint.  We then did a bit of trial and error to work out what to set the font size to in PowerPoint before importing.  After a few tries we had a new template to apply to the PowerPoint file before importing it.  This included font, font size and font colour.

Once imported, the font you get is what you wanted in the first place.

Templates (layouts) in Storyline are pretty tricky and don't work at all like I expect templates to work.  What is imported will not 'react' to the template like you might expect (take on the layout, be able to be reset etc) so you need to get it right in PowerPoint first otherwise you have a slide-by-slide job to fix it all.

So, set up a new template in PowerPoint and apply that before import.  That's what we're doing.
